startling self realization of the day: I’m an asshole

asshole.jpg sometimes i find myself reading interviews i’ve done and think “wow i really came off like a cool, smart and honest guy in that there interview!  i’m the best!”then i read the comments (if the interview is online) or the letters in the next months issue (if in a mag) and realize that about 50% of the people who read that there interview thought i came off like an arrogant, flippant prick.  the first 1000 times i told myself that my particular style of cunning and insightful dry wit which is combined with a zesty dose self mockery and then splashed with a hair of good old fashioned fuck you all swagger simply just didn’t always translate as well as i would like to the written word.   then i realized something.  it doesn’t translate that well to life, either.  and its made me realize that there is always a chance for a man to search deeply in to his heart and…   god dammit lady shut your fucking baby up already im trying to blog here!  what was i saying?

    you’re not an asshole, you’re probably just a little confused.

    I’ve been confronted with this conundrum myself and prefer to think of myself as more of a smartass. I figure I’m more of an asshole in ideology than in actual practice. Of course I’d rather be a smartass than a dumbass.

    In conclusion… no matter how you slice it… I’m an ass.

    …but on some real shit, Camu’s bit about how how you can be an asshole cause you’re doing your thing is completely true. Don’t fucking change for a god damned soul on this planet. You’ll garner the respect and props that you deserve whether you’re polite in interviews or not.

    Listen man, I’m still convinced that most of these people who go out of there way to leave opinionated comments (like I’m doing right now?) are most of the time miss informed, or are little kids who have yet to say something smart to the wrong motherfucker and get there face beat in, and I’m not excluding myself from that statement, I just wanted to comment on this particular subject. I have found that, some motherfuckers just don’t get sarcasim, They just look at you with a blank stare on there face, it’s just not in them? I also think sometimes that it’s a generation gap thing? I know a lot of 21 year old’s that have never been in a fight? Times are differnt? Alot a talken out there?

    P.S. Miles Davis was a TOTAL dick!

    Jerk Face, you are so right! Comparing 21 year olds that have never been in a fight to people understanding sarcasm is so on point. There definitely are a lot of “miss informed” people out there. Hell, I even thought it was spelled “misinformed”, but you certainly opened my eyes to the errors of my ways….

    You pickin’ up anything yet?

    215hiphop.com is one of “sucks” interviews.

    and i think el is hilarious and honest. some sissys can’t deal with humor or honesty. coddle them like the little girls they are.

    Are you talking about this one?
    http://215hiphop.com/interviews/el-p-interview/

    Because I think anytime an artist calls one of our interviewers “gay” = a GREAT interview….

    and THANX again for taking the time out your day to do it - an asshole is someone who denies an interview - not do one
